If I buy F1 2022 on Steam, can I play with my friend who bought it on Origin ?
Hey everyone,
Origin and Steam will not be able to play online together. When crossplay is introduced later in development, then all platforms can play together in supported crossplay modes (Social Play and Two-Player Career modes)

What exactly are you asking if someone is 100% sure about?
It's great how EA does everything they can to keep us up to date isn't it.....
The problem is, for EA ist playing between steam and Origin not crossplay. Crossplay is only between like xbox-PC or PS and PC but NOT Steam and Origin.
Its very save, that players will never play together at Origin and steam.
That is what you believe, not know. So it is anything but certain.
And just because an employee says EA+Origin isn't crossplay, doesn't mean the developer or publisher sees it that way. Support staff quite often tell nonsense that later turns out to be untrue.
So until an official announcement is made, it's all speculation, and that doesn't help anyone. And assertions of any alleged "certain facts" helps even more nobody. Just wait and see...
I bet 5 Pitcoins that Origin-Steam 'crossplay' will come when proper crossplay comes...
It seems very hard to see how it would work otherwise, in that if PlayStation and XBOX players can have a PC player join them in a lobby what would happen? If a Steam player joins first could only other Steam players join but not Origin? And vice versa? Also, my bet is that a reason possible splitting of the PC league community wasn't seen as a concern during game development was because they expected their crossplay solution to make it a non-issue.
All just my speculation of course.
I've had three EA employees on the phone so far.
Person 1 told me last week that it'd be possible for Steam and Origin to play together within a few days.
Person 2 told me that Steam and Origin can already play together since it's both on the same platform (PC).
Person 3 told me that the next patch will enable cross-play.
Person 1 and person 2 turned out to be liars. So I don't have very high hopes of what person 3 told me...

My guess is Person 3 isn't right either but given you have zero confidence either way I'd stop asking if I were you. If there is solid news I bet we'll see it here, or possibly on the official Twitter feed. It would make no sense to just give it to some EA helpdesk staff to tell people if they ask. Also bear in mind that an EA helpdesk will cover all games. It's not like calling the relevant Codemasters team.
